Bikes going the way of disposable electronics. With higher integration and more custom parts, a few years down the road, toss your bikes in the recycle bin or trade them in and spend money for a new one. Repairs? Forget about it. It's inevitable -- most consumers don't give a damn and will flock to these beautiful machines like they did with the slick consumer electronics; they complain that the Giant TCR 2021, which is also aero and comparatively lightweight if not lighter, looks outdated.

Rim brakes dont mean everything....look at the World Championship, it was won on a disc brake bike....look at all the Liège-Bastonne-Liège, Gent wevelgem and La Flèche Brabançonne....It's not because you have rim brakes that you are faster on a race. You can put a shitty rider on a super expensive rim brake bike and have im fcked by a good rider on a 2000€ disc brake bike... The bike doesn't make you faster if you dont have the legs to do it. And as a pro rider once said "In a race you rarely need you brakes", and I'll had, "but when you do need'em, you better have the best available to you."
